 Analog Dance Music, with its subtle use of electronics, is more suited to immersive listening from an armchair or sofa, rather than wild and sweaty dances.

 The arrangements are all too similar and Eirik’s voice, often whispered, doesn’t bring much excitement to the Kommode’s songs.

Analog Dance Music by Kommode offers a nostalgic blend of disco, indie rock, and atmospheric pop with introspective lyrics. Eirik Glambek Bøe’s subtle vocals and similar arrangements lend the album a laid-back vibe best suited for immersive listening rather than energetic dance floors.
